The Parting of Ways

Sukanya Ghosh

The Parting of Ways presents Sukanya Ghosh's first solo exhibition. The exhibition underscores Ghosh's formal training in fine art from M.S. University, Baroda and in animation from the National Institute of Design, Ahmedabad. Morphing her visions of the real and the surreal by probing an ephemeral archive, the artist interrogates the symbolic valences of ‘location’ and other psycho-geographies.

With an array of new work – photo-mosaics and collages – the processes of disaggregation underpin visions of family, location, friendship and sociality that artist Sukanya Ghosh maps along varied axes of space and time.
The Parting of Ways presents a bold, free-associative mode of rendition. Recombinant techniques – digitally sutured montages, grids, reiterative image sequences – urge one to contemplate different ways of understanding the ‘fragment’. Groups of image-montages, augmented by a single animation in this exhibition integrate various formats – small, medium, Polaroid and 35mm, later scanned and manipulated, and subsequently printed in variable sizes.
